CANAL, POLICY UNCHANGED.
Plain
Statement is Given Out
From
V
. Washington, May 23. The follow
ing statement was given out at the War
department tonight: 1"- ;
"No little amusement has been cre
ated in the administration at Washing
ton and among its friends over the at-1
tempt to distort ' the facts about the
Panama purchases, and especially in the
attempt to show that under pressure
there has been an alteration in policy.
Ever since Secretary Taft and the
Panama commissioon, with the presi
dent's approval, announcced their in
tention, there has not been the sngnt
est change,' and all statements to the
contrary have no foundation whatever."
The statement seems to indicate some
difference of opinion between the pres
ident and Secretary Taft regarding the
policy of purchasing supplies for the
Isthmian canal wherever they can be
secured at the lowest prices.
After the policy of buying supplies
either in America or abroad had been
announced, great pressure was exerted
by the "Stand-patters" to have the
matter left for determination of con
gress. . Speaker Cannon was at the
White house and urged this course on
the president. The matter was pre
sented to the cabinet meeting Friday
and the subsequent intimation given
that concessions had been made the
ultra-protectionists to the extent that
only necessary material would be pur
chased nntil an opportunity had been
given congress to enact 'legislation en
the subject. This is how followed by.
declaration from Secretary Taft that
there has been no change of policy
There will undoubtedly be a renewal
of pressure upon the president .either
to have supplies bought from American
manufacturers at increased prices or
nothing done until after assembling of
congress'.
STANDARD PIPES IN KANSAS.
Connections Completed to Reach Half
Across the Continent.
Kansas City, Mo., May 23. W. F

can handle all the oil produced west of
the Mississippi river."
The Standard s pipe line at Whiting
from its Sugar Rock refinery is nearly
established on the outskirts of Kansas
City, and will be completed next Fri

visited the local plant. The Whiting
line the construction of which was be
gun last September, is to supply an
outlet for 6,000,000 barrels of oil
stored by, the company at Humboldt,
Canea, Ramona and Needesha, Kan
At Whiting the pipe line will connect
with the company's lines to Bayonne,
N. J., thus completing a line that will
reach half way across the continent.'
The effect of the completion of the
line to Whiting will be thatthe Stand
ard Oil company will be able to handle
75,000 barrels of oil a day. Already
pipe line superintendents of the com
pany are laying out new plans in an
ticipation of the ' completion of the
Whiting line, v One of these lines will

Fire Burns Ail Day Long.
Wilkesbaire, Pa., May 23. One of
the most disastrous fires that has oc
curred in this city in years started early
today, and not until afternoon were the
firemen able to control the flames. The
loss will reach $300,000. The fire
originated in the millinery department
of the Isaac Lorg dry goods house in
the Wells building, on the west side of
the public square, one of the handsom
est and costliest structures in Wilkes
barre. When first discovered the
flames were promptly controlled by the

ond fire broke out in the basement of
the building an hour after the first one
had been subdued. '

Duty on American Imports. :
St. Petersburg, May 32. The desir
ability of securing the revocation of
the imposition by Russia of the maxim
duty on American imports levied in
retaliation for the . imposition of
countervailing duty by the United
States on Russian sugars, which Am
bassador .Meyer is trying to adjust, is
assuming additional importance, owing
to the fact that the new Russo-German
tariff, will form a basis for a "most
favored nation" clause.

Reina Mercedes, captured at Santiago
during the war with Spain, sailed to

S REPORTED DEAD
Paris Report Says Rojestvensky
Is No More.
NEBOGATOFF NOW IN COMMAND
Russian Embassy Without News, Al
though It Is Admitted That It
Might Be So.
Paris, May 23. A sensation has
been created here by the circulation of
a report that advices have been received
by a well known firm of -French bank
ers, who have been active in the pasty
in floating the' Russian loans, from
their confidential agent at St. Peters
burg, stating that Admiral Rojestven
sky has died of dysentery and that Ad
miral Nebogatoff has assumed command
of the joint fleets of Russian Far East
ern waters.
The report caused a semi-panic in
certain quarters, but it is impossible to
trace it or to determine where it origin
ated." At the Russian embassy the
agent of the Publishers' Press was in
formed that, while thev had heard such
a report, they had received no advices
of that character from the home gov
ernment, and tne secretary declared
that, if such a report had been received
at St. Petersburg, it would . have been
communicated to the embassy without
delay. He waa not inclined to believe
the rumor, although he admitted that
it might be so.
On the other rand, persons best, ac
quainted with Admiral Rojestvensky's
condition declare that the report may
be well true, as the last information
received from the Baltic fleet stated
that he was very ill and had to have a
Burgeon in constant attendance upon
him.
MINE CAVES IN.
United Verde in Arizona 'Is Reduced
to Ruins.
Prescott, Ariz., May 23. Millions of
tons of rock and earth caved in at noon
today in Senator Clark's United Verde
copper mine, at Jerome, Ariz,, the
ground dropping- from the surface to
the 700-foot level. Crackling timbers
gave the alarm and 300 miners fled for
their lives and escaped uninjured.
For several days the ground has been
settling and timbers creaking. Today
with a mighty crash the earth caved,
carrying with it the new shaft, levels,
drifts and slopes. irom nssures on
the surface come clouds of sulphur
smoke from that part of the mine which
has been on fire for several years.
The extent of the damage cannot as
yet be ascertained, but if it is as bad
as feared the great 'property will be
closed and the existence of Jerome
will be doomed. The hoisting works,
which are over the mine, have settled,
and the machinery cannot be worked.
The smelting plant has a's ) been shut
and all activity ceased.
The officials of the company take an
optimistic view of the situation,- and
say the damage is not irreparable, and
the smelter will be 'Working again
within a month.
SCHOOL LAND NOT AFFECTED.
M
Richards Decides State May Still Make
Indemnity Selections.
; Washington, May 23. Land Com
missioner Richards, in response to an
inquiry, has advised Oregon State Land
Agent Oswald West that the act of
March 3, 1905, repealing the lieu land
law has no bearing whatever on the
right of the state to make indemnity
selections of land in place of school
sections which the state may lose in
forest reserves. Whenever school sec
tions are hereafter included in forest
reserves in Oregon or any other state,
the state will be entitled to make in
demnity selection as heretofore, regard
less of whether the school sections so
included are surveyed or unsurveyed.
Life Through Chemistry.
Berkeley, Cal., May 23.' Professor
Jacques Loeb, the biologist of the Uni
versity of California, has, it is claimed.
succeeded in - developing by artificial
chemical means the eggs of the sea
urchin so that the larvae produced in
the laboratory cannot be distinguished
from the living forms produced during
the process of fertilization. The order
of events in the process of fertilization
is in both cases the same. Dr. Loeb's
new method is in every respect a com
plete imitation of natural fertilize
tion.
Will Pacify East Samar.
Manila, May 23. In response to the
request of Governor General Wright
Major General Corbin has detailed
Brigadier General William H. Carter,
commander of the department of the
Visayas, to assume the pacification of
the east coast of Samar. All the Fed
eral troops that are required have been
furnished. The native scouts who have
been on civil duty on the island of Sa
mar have returned. General Carter has
sailed to take the field in person.

prepared at the Navy department today
directing Rear Admiral Sigsbee, whose
squadron has been selected for the trip
to France to bring to the United States
the remains of Paul Jones, to be ready
to proceed from New York not later
than June 8.
AjjAN CONTROLS KOREA.
Minister Runs Countryand ; Removal
;. of Emperor is Proposed.
Paris, May 22 Reports received
here through authoritive channels rep
resent Japan as carrying things with a
high, hand in Corea. Whether the re
ports are influenced by sentiment it is
mpossible to say, but they recite a
number of specific facts supporting the
view that M. Hayashi. the JaDanese
minister to Corea, no longer observes
the position of the other ministers at
Seoul. He is said to consider himself
sort of resident general or viceroy.
thus taking precedence over his diplo
matic colleagues, who are obliged to
await his J convenience in dealing with
the court and government. The gen
eral commanding the Japanese troops is
represented as seconding the assump
tion of precedence on the part of the
Japanese minister.
The official reports confirm reports
from Pekin that the Japanese recently
exerted strong pressure upon the em
peror of Corea to induce him to leave
the country and go to Japan with the
evident purpose of removing him as an
.obstacle to the development of Japan-
control. The emperor is said to
have requested the departure of the
Japanese officials who had made this
representation and to have taken dis
creet means to permit the European
government to learn of the prospects of
nis removal. finally, when this in
formation reached , the St. Petersburg
Foreign office, it issued a protest
against Japan's assumption of control
of the affairs of Corea. . ;
FILLS IN GAP.
President Creates New Forest Re
serve in Cascades.
Washington, May 22. The president
will soon sign a proclamation creating
tne xafcima forest reserve in Kittitas
and King counties, Washington, em
bracing nearly 2,600 square miles of
land. This reserve will include the
summit and slopes of the Cascade
mountains and virtually all the timber
country between the Washington and
Rainier reserves.
When this proclamation is signed
tnere will be one continuous reserve
following the Cascade mountains from
a point a few miles north of the Colum
bia clear to the British Columbia boun
dary.
Running through the Vakima reserve
is the Northern Pacific land grant, em
bracing alternate sections. These lands
will not be included, so the forest re
serve will be one immense checker
board, although for practical purposes
the entire area of railroad as well as
public lands will be brought under the
care of the government. The Northern
Pacific sections will be worth little to
the railroad when the reserve is creat
ed, and it is possible some plan will be
devised whereby the government can
purchase or otherwise acquire them in
order that the Yakima reserve may be
come a compact body.
FERRY BOAT RUNS AWAY.
Loaded Down With Excursionists It
Smashes Into Wharf.
San Francisco, May 20. The lives of
over 2,000 passengers, most of whom
were women and children on their wav
to the annual picnic of St. Dominic's
church, were endangered today by an
accident on the ferry boat Tamalpais
Running at full speed, the boat, with
engines entirely beyond control, crashed
into the dock, ripping out piles and
woodwork and throwing the frightened
passengers into a wild panic.
A break in the engine room was re
sponsible for the accident. When the
captain gave the engineer the signal to
slow down, 100 yards from the ferry
slip, the levers gave way and the boat
ran at full speed straight into the dock.
Realizing the impossibility of averting
a crash, the officers drove the crowt's
back from the forward deck and sound
ed the danger signal to attract the em
ployes on the wharf .
The steamer struck with a terrible
crash, but hawsers were thrown aboard
and, though the engines were still run
ning at full speed, the apron was low
ered and the frightened crowd rushed
ashore. Several women fainted during
the excitement.
Use Wireless on Coast.
Vallejo, Cal., May 22. It is pro
posed by the Navy department to es
tablish wireless telegraph stations at
Point Loma, Cape Blanco, Cape Flat
tery, North .-, Head, ' Point Wilson and
Bremerton. The establishment of
these new stations will - practically
cover the Pacific coast, and they will
be especially valuable to warships car
rying wireless instruments. The
Weather bureau has ' offered to turn
over to the Navy department some ma
terials and instruments to help fit out
the new stations. ,
President's Keen Interest in War.
Washington, May 22. Secretary
Morton and Commander Seaton
Schroeder, chief of the bureau of naval
intelligence, had an interview with
President Roosevelt "today" concerning
the prospective battle between the Rus
sian and Japanese fleets. Commander
Schroeder has prepared a document in
which he compares the strength and
qualities of ' the two fleets. He ex
plained to the president his figures and
deductions. The president is interested,

Rich Strike Made in Southern Oregon
Mine Creates Excitement.
Medford A strike was made ' in the
Opp mine last week that eclipses any
thing that has ever been made on the
Pacific coast, and even beats the great
district of Tonopah and Goldfield, in a
true-fissure vein that is between slate
and porphyry, which averages 15 feet
in width. An ore chute was opened
which is 100 feet in length and feet in
width, all specimen rock, which will
be exhibited at the Lewis & Clark fair,
in Portland, nis rock is literally cov
ered with the yellow metal, and runs
$40,000 to the ton. v
One man took out $10,000 in one
shift, and the rock is now on exhibi
tion at the Medford permanent exhibi
tion building.. Some sacks go as much
as $1,000 per sack. -Thie, strike has
caused the greatest excitement among
miners and prospectors of anything that
has occurred since the great Gold Hill
excitement in 1865, which this exceeds.
Dr. J. F. Reddy came to Medford
from Spokane, Wash., one year ago, in
search of a quartz property, and was
advised by many so-called experts that
there was nothing in the district that
would warrant an investment or expen
diture of any capital along these lines,
but as inasmuch as Dr. Reddy could
plainly see that nothing but surface
work had ever been done, save where a
mine had paid from the crass roots, and
having unbounded faith in the district,
after careful examination, he decided
to erect on this mine a ten-stamp mill,
and since the erection of the same it
has earned $100 per diem net, which
only shows that Southern Oregon today
has more undeveloped resources than
any territory west of the Mississippi
river.
WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.
Pendleton Scouring Mill Has Bought
Much Wool This Season.
Pendleton The Pendleton wool
scouring mills have purchased 3,000,
000 pounds of wool, this year and has
its plant running day and night with
shifts of 35 men each, cleaning the
wool. Four thousand pounds of the
scoured product are turned out daily
from 16,000 pounds of the raw mater
ial put . through the vats. The wool
shrinks about 74 per cent in the clean
ing process. The scoured wool is sell
isg at 65 cents a pound f. o. b. Pen
dleton. This is being baled as fast as
cleaned, and the grease wool baler will
be started next week to bale such wool
as will be sent east uncleaned.
The Furnish warehouse has received
so far this season about 400,000. pounds
of wool from north of the city, Echo
and from the Pilot Rock district, with
dozens of loads coming in daily.
A second baling machine is being
installed, which will handle a larger
amount than last year, which was over
3,000,000 pounds. The larger part of
the wool being brought to town is sold
and as soon as baled will be shipped to
the Boston markets.

struction in Umatilla county is the
Hermiston project, being finished up
by the Maxwell Land & Irrigation
company of Maxwell, or Hermiston, four
miles west of Echo on the main line of
the 0. R. & N. A dam was built across

been identified with the Sumpter dis
trict, and is thoroughly posted as to its
possibilities. He has succeeded in
interesting Detroit capitalists who are
able to carry on development.

STATE ON CREDIT BASIS.
Referendum Petitions Stop Projected.
Improvements of State Institutions
Salem The filing of th
for the referendum . upon the general
appropriation bill with the secretary
of state, throws the state upon its
credit until the next legislature makes
good the deficiency, unless the people?
see fit to sustain the action of the last
legit lature and adopt the measure at
ine june election of 1906. The gen
eral appropriation bill carries a total of
$li454,379.90, and the invoking of the
rcierenaum upon it not only blocks thft
progress of the normal schools, inclu
sion of which in the bill was the direct
cause of the ,- referendum movement
against it, but also seriously impedes
the contemplated work of improvement
and enlargement of the asylum for in
sane ana omer state institutions, which
depend upon the aDDrorriation for
maintenance.
All this raises the ouestion of what
action the secretary of state and mem
bers of the boards of trustees of the
different state institutions will take
upon the act adopted by the last legis
lature. Drovidinsr that all
state institutions, educational, penal.
reiormatory, eelymosenary, etc., shall
be paid monthly, instead of nnarterlv.
This act prescribes that at the end of

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
Wheat, Rye, Barley and Hay Promise
to Eclipse Josephine Records.
Grants Pass - Farmers from the out
lying district report the cereal crop for
the Rogue river valley in excellent
condition this year, and to be headingc
from two to three weeks in advance of
several years past. Larger quantities of
wheat have been planted in - the past
year in Josephine county than every
before, and it is believed that a number
of men who have recently purchased
their farms, will pay off the first cost
with the banner yield of this year.
Wheat all over the county is three to
four feet high, and has a uniformly
heavy growth.
A great deal of rye and barley is be
ing grown on the lowlands of the Rogue;
river valley this year, and these are
proving very lucrative crops. The hay
crop in the Upper Applegate, Williams
and Slate creek districts will show a
heavier tonnage than ever before in.
the county, and the second crop of al
falfa and red clover is ready for cutting;
in many localities.
Motor Car Arrives.
